Eden Davis,16, has become the first Jewish athlete for
five years to win an individual medal at the English Schools Championships. Davis,
representing Hertfordshire, took the Intermediate 100m bronze in 10.79 at last
week’s Championships in Gateshead. "I am delighted to have achieved my
ambition for the season,” Davis said. "I am now on the reserve list to
represent England in the Home Nations International in Glasgow next week."
Sophie Dowson gained an excellent fourth place in the
intermediate pole vault with a clearance of 3.55m, despite being ill and unable
to train throughout the previous week. Dowson, competing for Middlesex,
commented, "I should feel proud, but actually I was annoyed not to have
cleared 3.65m, which would have earned me the silver medal.”
Ellie Edwards reached the semi-finals of the senior 100m,
recording 12.69 against a headwind, and took gold as part of the winning
Greater Manchester 4x100m relay team.
